About 5 to 6 weeks IF both solicitors are on the ball and it's a simple transaction, i.e. cash buyer, no chain, freehold property etc.For Democracy to work, the losers have to accept defeat.0

I have boughtand sold a lot of houses. People always say we can do it quickly, it never happens. 10-12 weeks is about right.
I have just exchanged in a complicated chain we managed to get to exchange after much hard work in 16 weeks. You do need to keep on top of your solicitor and your seller/buyer via the EA or if possible with direct communication with them.
Don’t let your eye off the ball.0 -
